Has this guy taken ownership of anything? Is this what he teaches the players? Fantasy and excuses?

That's a pretty ballsy statement, but words in quite a few people's mouth like that.

i don't really like bylsma, but if you're going on a message board to find out why a guy is a good coach, and expect to hear something more nuanced than, "he won a cup and a jack adams, and was selected to coach in the olympics", you're barking up the wrong tree.

Its no more ballsy than someone saying that a coach that has coached a team to this much disappointment year after year should have another year to keep his job.

Since he hasn't been fired, he is great. That's your point?

I'm not making a point. I'm interpreting that people that argue that he should keep his job think that he is great. The reason that I interpret that his was is simply: If they don't think he's great, why would they have this much patience with him?
